E-Commerce mogul, Amazon, have set their next endeavour towards a low-key home robot project. After the infamous Alexa, they’re now building a personal android Codenamed “Vesta” that currently resides in Amazon’s Lab126. It’s unclear as to how long the bot has been there for testing. But the real question is how long more for it to reach public households? Nevertheless, it’s a huge step forward.

The next gen Echo will be able to receive and follow commands just like its predecessor and perform human-like activities too. The Vesta is said to begin field testing in the households of Amazon employees and by late 2018. But the major question is when will it be a part of every household?

Don’t know about you, but allowing artificial intelligence to be a personal assistant in the form of a man-sized bot might be a bit freaky. Looks like we’ll have a repeat of Will Smith’s ‘iRobot’ soon
